There is so much conditioning, so many patterns and habits, so many preferences, opinions and beliefs that keep us bound to the illusion that we are this body/mind/soul unit. But there is a simple line of inquiry that can help cut through them all: Consider what is “mine.” Anything that is “mine” isn’t “me.” I […]
I sent out a recording of the most recent Sunday Satsang to some of the people who’ve awakened with me so far this month. Here’s how one of them responded. If you are not “where you want to be in your spiritual story,” then satsang is a large part of what’s missing. f Thank you […]
This gentleman is a retired psychiatrist that I’ve been working with for the last couple of weeks. Thanks, Mike! Fred, thank you for introducing me to your Satsang. ‘I’ got a great deal from it! It was wonderful to see that you have such a loving rapport with your students. And more especially to […]
I had the pleasure of working with sometime from Finders Course today who was awake when he got to me. You might be surprised how many Awakening Sessions I do with already-consciously awakened beings. They still find a lot of value as I’m able to help them orient and begin to see some of […]
Thanks to Robbin. 🙂
Hi Fred, I watched the “Attention Practice” video and I see that I am the unlimited field, the boundless field, the openness and emptiness in which all things appear and disappear…very wonderful! At first I was a bit doubting myself when I was shifting back and forth from “this” (inner) to “that” (outer) because to […]
Dear “Fred,” This is just a quick note to let “you” know how grateful “I” am for your continued drive to get the message out into the world! I am not typical of your regular clientele, having been a complete novice to spirituality. I was raised Irish Catholic. I towed the line until my early […]
I experienced a dramatic mood swing recently: several days of deep, dark depression, followed by a great surge of relief and joy, and a feeling of love for all and everyone. Remembering my true nature, I didn’t let either mood sweep me away. Instead, I took the opportunity—especially during the dark spell—to explore what it […]
Hi Fred…your ….beyond recovery ….sure fits my place in this lifing thingy…the surrender aspect cut me deep……i’ve always held back a desire to control and not give up hope of success……never thought of it before your book…i’m humbled by this info……i’m coming out with my hands up….love you…….b
I am not the body. I am contained by the body. I am the mind. I am not the mind. I am not awake. I am awake. I should be awake. I will be awake soon. I should be clear, just like the great teachers are/were I’ll never be clear like the great teachers […]
The Buddha said, “Suppose someone were hit by a poisoned arrow and his friends and relatives found a doctor to remove the arrow. If this man were to say, ‘I will not have this arrow taken out until I know whether the person who shot it was a priest, a prince or a merchant, his […]
Dear Fred, Could not resist sharing this! Thank you for speaking this same truth week after week. Listening to last Sunday’s Satsang made me think that all interactions in the world reinforce the false story that you are a person in the world. No matter how much we try to perfect the story of the […]
I noticed today that the world is awake—trees, rocks, clouds, and yes, even people. We’re all awake! This moment is awake. It’s as bright as it can possibly be, framed by an infinite past and future. It is being witnessed by 7.5 billion people, and countless other sentient beings, here on earth and elsewhere. It’s […]
My Irish great-grandfather emigrated to America during the potato famine and became a Baptist minister. He rode circuit from parish to parish on horseback, in Boston and Cape Cod. My mother was his only granddaughter and argued with him even as a small girl that if God really loved us he couldn’t have invented Hell. […]

Dear Fred, I just want to tell you that the first time I accidentally (yeah, right) fell upon one of your podcasts, I had the feeling of finding a heart friend, I actually had the feeling that that same person on the podcast was myself (before thoughts told me “NO WAY, you little shit!”). It […]
Betsy’s sister, Lynn, is in Africa, doing a photo safari. I received the following email from Betsy this morning. Good morning dearest, Since knowing that Lynn is going to visit the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, I have once more been transfixed by their website. If I could travel to any destination in the world, […]
